Summary: Hollywood's Communists were put on trial in 1951, a campaign which caused much paranoia and suicide as accusing fingers were pointed at friends. One blacklisted director would not testify and his stand became a political turning point in the most scandalous witch-hunt in American history.

Hollywood, 1950. When David Merrill (Robert De Niro), one of Hollywood's top directors, returns from a recuperative European hiatus, he finds himself in a tinsel town he no longer recognizes. His friends are ill at ease, good folks won't talk openly anymore and the House Un-American Activities Committee regularly interrogates some of Hollywood's finest. Initially, David's not concerned, but when an old friend identifies him as a leftist, he begins to realize that he's living in an era plagued by suspicion.
